A New Hampshire-based seller of nutritional supplements and vitamins has moved its distribution center to Colonial Heights.
Emerson Ecologics leased 43,536 square feet at 1750 Ruffin Mill Road and started operations there Aug. 8.
The company’s headquarters and customer contact center remain in New Hampshire.
The company said it moved its distribution center to Virginia to increase the number of customers it can ship products to within two days. The facility is also larger and allows them to expand the products and brands it can offer.
“To better meet the needs of our customers today and tomorrow, it was necessary for us to expand the eastern distribution center. This new facility doubles our Eastern US distribution capacity, which is essential in supporting our future growth,” said Andy Greenawalt, CEO of Emerson Ecologics, in a statement.
The company is investing up to a $1 million to open the facility and will immediately create 35 jobs and up to 60 over the next three years, according to a statement released earlier by the governor’s office.
The company was offered funding and services from the Virginia Department of Business Assistance to secure the project to the state.
